Stream files to webserver instead of saving to disk #38

As the title says... this should help with ipython compatibility and would vastly simplify cleanup. This could be done with simple modifications to the figure object and a new HTTPServer object (HTTPFileStreamServer?).

IPython.core.display.JSON, IPython.core.display.Javascript and IPython.core.display.HTML can serve all the necessary components right through iPython. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to make Python.core.display from within a function or class method.

So, this issue has already been taken care of by having a custom HTTPServer that serves from a dictionary of cStrings (I should have closed it a bit ago). That being said, @andrewcstewart, I'm not quite sure what you mean... I haven't taken that hard of a look at the IPython internals.
